Election news: results, polls, live updates

Coverage pillars

• Election results, live: county-by-county tallies, calls, recount triggers, and certification timelines.
• Election polls and modeling: methodology, likely-voter screens, margins of error, and how fresh polling reshapes the field.
• Exit polls and turnout: demographic splits, issue priorities, early voting patterns, and Election Day flows.
• Electoral map and pathways: scenario analysis, tipping-point states, and realistic routes to victory.
• Policy stakes: economy, immigration, health, courts, energy, foreign affairs—and how each bloc votes.
• Integrity and rules: deadlines, recount laws, mail/absentee processing, and challenge procedures.

Verification standard for election coverage

• Primary data first: official election results from state and local authorities, court filings, and certified statements.
• Poll hygiene: questionnaire wording, sample frames, weighting, and field dates for every cited election poll.
• Transparent edits: if facts change, headlines and copy update with visible timestamps. Opinion is labeled as opinion.

Live coverage rhythm

During fast counts, you see concise, time-stamped updates first. Next come verified quotes, turnout tables, and map notes that clarify momentum. When warranted, we explain why an election call is not yet justified.

Daily cadence

• Morning setup: polling averages, fresh filings, overnight ballot updates.
• Midday sweep: legal motions, precinct reporting rates, early exit-poll readouts.
• Evening wrap: election results snapshots, outstanding ballots, plausible endgames.
